Josh Christopher with another good outing, going 8-11. Has some shades of D-Mitch.

Only thing we should be worrying about this draft is how to get more picks in it.

That first option looks way better to me (and what I hope happens). Get your primary playmaker (and top 3 offensive option) with our pick (Cade/Suggs). Then take advantage of the high level sg prospects in this draft with the DAL pick (Clarke/Christopher/Springer) with the hope of getting another primary offensive option (and maybe some tertiary playmaking too).

They better get this season started, because if COVID goes crazy, things get cancelled, and then they just run back last year's draft order because there aren't enough results to make a new order this year, I'm going to lose my isht.

That is my #1 nightmare scenario heading into this all-important draft.

My man, there is no way league ownership just goes alone with just giving Golden State another top 2 draft pick. Other owners would stage their own Brooks Bros riot !

Ballmer would be Ballmer, and Mark Cuban's head would explode!

Of course since this is the NBA the league would propose their tested fair lottery system run league-wide weighted in favor of worst records. And since this is the NBA the Los Angeles Laker would promptly win said lottery. 'Tis the way life seems to work.

Welcome to the NBA Universe.

I dunno, Ziaire Williams & Caleb Love would be beautiful too.

Scottie Barnes is a very unique talent as well

Off to a good start with reports of KP out until early February!

As long as Luka's healthy, it doesn't matter.

Luka kinda chubby and logs major mins. He also plays kinda reckless at times. Combine all that with the short off-season and almost no camp. And...

I can’t believe y’all are really doing this the **** is wrong with yall

Just a few significant hamstring pulls in just one season. That's all we are wishing for. Ok, there's always that guy rooting for an ACL tear.

Regardless of how good the G League dudes are, I hope their stock takes a tiny dip because of the non-tape and not as many games being played. Just in case we fall to 5 or 6, we could still grab someone like Jalen Green or Kuminga. Especially if Cunningham, Johnson, Suggs & Mobley keeps balling.

I lowkey want that arrogant Jalen Green kid. Think he’d mix well style wise with RJ.

I don't see Donovan Mitchell at all. I see more Nick Young vibes. A scorer who isn't likely to be a winning player as he doesn't play a team oriented brand of ball. I hope some other team takes the bait and drafts him high so others fall.
